America is closed for businesses - thank you Democrats! 😠

President Trump gifted America a booming economy. There were jobs for all, including the downtrodden demographics that had long been ignored by the arrogant Democratic establishment. The economy was robust and accelerating ahead with the momentum of a runaway freight train.

But enter the Democrats. The left will never let a crisis to waste, and the Wuhan Flu has been no exception. They’ve wrecked America’s economy just to spite Trump and to give an advantage to their senile groper, Joe Biden. The Democrats and thuggish Governors like Gretchen Whitmer and Gavin Newsome have smothered the economy and put tens of millions in the unemployment line.

America is now closed for business - shame on you, Democrats.

It sounds like you think that the US response should have been more like Sweden’s.

Those are not the only two possibilities.

We know who is vulnerable to serious/critical disease or death. That’s less than 5% of the population.

We could easily sequester and protect them while the rest of the country goes back to work.

So your plan is to impoverish the old healthy people, while the young sick ones are allowed to wander freely and keep their mortgage company remain wealthy.

Well that’s just complete nonsense.

The groups most at risk are retirees and those with permanent disabilities who have a protected income already.

Those who are still working can certainly be taken care of for a tiny fraction of what the shut down is costing us.

Good summary of the Republican Talking Points for the 2020 election.

But just to be clear,. when President Trump recommended national “shelter in place” guidelines on March 16, are we to assume he acted as a Democrat on that day? Because if he acted as a Republican, your thesis is in error.

he acted on the advice of Fauci et al, which was a mistake.

Fauci shut down the US and state governors to this length, not Trump

sorry i know you wanted to slip that in there

Fauci has the authority to shut down the US? Who knew.

Organizations don’t work that way. If the President took Dr. Fauci’s advice then it is the Presdent’s responsibility.

I have been arguing for days that there is plenty of responsibility to go around, in the face of numerous positions that some single bad guy – the Chinese, the Democrats, the media – are the one’s to blame.

I’m not slipping in anything; just noting how the DC response has shifted from addressing the medical issues. a month ago to full-on election mode.

Its an example of how much Republicans want to give unelected “bureaucrats” control over the American people.

We can’t “easily sequester them”.

Sweden has shown that.

yes, it might be

no one claimed he had the “authority”

For me this thread shows how easy it is for the CEC to say it out there, and it gets regurgitated here.

Well, to be fair, there are still elements within the Republican party that try to pass it of as conservative, when it is pretty apparent that they have now completely sold out conservatism, thrown it under the bus, ran over it, and then backed over it a couple of times just to make sure it was gone.

“Fauci shut down the US”, this from the second sentence in your post above.

It’s not imagined.

I watch a lot of media. I know what uncritical regurgitation looks like.
